Class Description:
Guided Loving-Kindness Meditation Series for Beginners. Lovingkindness meditation or compassion meditation uses a phrase or set of phrases as your point of focus or anchor. Some people also call this type of meditation a mantra meditation.

The goal of this type of meditation is to recognize that we all wish to be happy, and yet are connected by the share experience of our humanity., cycling through periods of joy, pain, pleasure, and sorrow.
